1. The patient should be alive by the end of the case
2. The case should end on its own by the time allotted expires
3. If it is a surgery pt, the case should end as soon as you enter the correct procedure (eg lap appendectomy)
4. If a pt keeps coming back to the office with the same complaints, it is not a good sign
5. If you follow an outline listed in UWorld CCS "time management" section (with variation for each specific case, of course), you know you're doing something right
